The Tomb of Jippensha-Ikku

last updated：

    • Other famous places
    ippensha Ikku was the author of the massive Edo-period bestseller, Tokaidochu Hizakurige (commonly known as Shanks' Mare). His gravestone is located within the indoor cemetery (ossuary) of Shin-en-zan Toyo-in Temple. The left side of his grave is inscribed with his famous death poem, a final witty pun that reflects his humorous spirit: "As I leave this world, I take my leave like bird-shaped incense; With the rising smoke, I vanish into ash—goodbye!"
